Default Wooden posts and dirt floor

The barn has heavy creosoted wooden beams as it's uprights and wooden trusses, so it should be a little more quiet than a totally steel structure:-) And at the moment it has a dirt floor so it doesn't seem loud in there at all, but we also have hay storage and stalls and animals in there too, so it will be a little better about absorbing the sound and not reflecting it all over the valley:-) I am just concerned about stripping all the stalls out and moving the hay and getting a decent concret floor poored if that is going to change the accoustics greatly?
